When I was a kid my dad would not let me have a pet. Considering how abusive he was, that was probably just as well. When I was 7 years old my grandma began staying with us, because my mom had left. My grandma brought her dog. I would play with him. When my grandma realized her dog liked me more than her, she took her dog and left. From time to time she would visit, but not bring her dog. I never saw him again. I found out from my uncle that whenever the dog would hear children outside, he would run to look out the window, as if he was looking for someone. And then the dog would look sad and go lay in his bed. My uncle told me that he thinks the dog was looking for me. I think it was selfish of my grandma to keep her dog away from me, knowing how much we made each other happy.

When you went the extra step of saying narcissism isn't a disorder, but a manifestation of evil, that's when I hit the like and subscribe button. Great video.

Owning an animal is the greatest gift of protection against a narcissist. I dated a man for a while and he wanted to get married, but insisted I just dump my dogs in the country because he didn't want pets. I dumped HIM!

Animal abusers should be sentenced to jail.

I am someone who attracts narcissist. I am aware of this and try to be very careful but am not always successful. I have 2 cats and a dog. I watched my ex-husband strangle my dog, throw it up against a wall, kick my cats and onetime drive it 30 miles away and dropped off in a forest. I prayed for my cat everyday and 6 months later it was at my front door on Christmas Day!! I've been divorced from that husband for 34 years. I love your spiritual spin on this subject. Narcissism is evil!

My husband, the narcissist, would rage at my cat knowing that it hurt me. Calling him nasty names, screaming and stomping his feet after him. I left last month and my cat and dog have been in a quiet environment along with me. They are healing as well. They are not "jumpy " anymore. They are getting a little better every day. Thank God my husband never put hands on them. God bless you all. Just Jen.

The trademark of the narcissist is that smile when someone else has misfortune and pain

To cut it short. My dog was the reason why I left the narcissist and I cant even express how greatful I am for it. She saved me from the hell I was going through and set us free. Love dog and cats ❤❤

I used to date a narcissist. And at the time a had a very small, young dog. He was a teacup poodle that I got for my 19th birthday and he was the most precious, loveable thing. I started dating this guy who came off as so sweet and kind and considerate but, needless to say, he started showing his true colors eventually. When we became engaged, he was treating me badly. I was more blinded then because it was my very first relationship and I knew that relationships could have rough patches, but it should have never been like that. My little dog was my world. He was just like my child and he was my best friend and I felt like we had a deep connection, which was important because I had no friends at the time. He was my only support and this monster of a guy wanted to separate me from that love and support. Ive dealt with depression and anxiety since I was 15, so having that love and support was so important to me. That guy told me that when we got a place together that I wasnt allowed to bring my dog. He tried to call it my mum's dog, but I corrected him and said that it was MY dog. I was raising him, I cared for him, I payed the vet bill, I bought the food so he was mine. This guy said that I couldnt bring him with us, but he wanted to get a bunch of cats, which im allergic to. His thing was that I could take allergy pills for it. It was all about him. His wants were the most important and he couldnt stand that any of my time or affection was going to something or someone else. I couldnt even have time with my friends or family. Finally, one evening he was at my house and he had been having stomach aches for a while. My dog was all happy and trying to be affectionate and he jumped on this guys stomach and this guy swung his arm and knocked my dog on the floor. I was livid. I went straight into "mama wolf" mode and went off on the guy saying "Whats wrong with you?! Dont you know you could have broken his legs?! Hes so little!". The guy didnt like this and said that his stomach hurt. I blantly said that I didnt care and its no excuse to just knock a tiny creature to the floor. The guy was so pissed that I cared more about my dog than I did his stomach. Yeah! That dog was my baby. You hurt my baby and I hurt you! I broke up with that guys soon after and have never talked to him since. He always tried to make himself out to be this wonderful, honorable person, but he wasnt. He used me and abuse me because of my kind heart. I was taught to care for things and be loving. My little dog lived to be a bit over 16 btw. He passed away Feb of last year. Always my little love.

The three worst narcissists in my life treated their pets better than any person or thing. I've never seen them abuse an animal.

[Lv-nqqz]

looking back, this all kind of makes sense. My father would brag about how great his dogs were when he was growing up. But he barely took care of any of our pets. He actually put our first dog down when I was very young without telling anyone because it peed on the bed a couple of times and sometimes would have seizures. That made my mom cry, and I was left wondering why the dog was there one day and gone the next. He said it was for my sake years later because he thought the dog was dangerous. I got a turtle for my 7th birthday that I neither wanted nor asked for. He didn't help take care of it at all and then chastised me for not taking care of it and being ungrateful for having it. We had two dogs after that that he was very minimally involved with, barely trained them, never walked them, never cleaned up after them, was critical of whether or not they needed to go to the vet. His first action in disciplining them was to hit them, anger was always his first resort. It's amazing how we tend to miss these signs, or explain them away for the sake of preserving piece of mind.

Owning a pet is a truly humbling experience, I agree with you! We don't deserve them

[firstnamelastname]

I used to be friends with a narcissist. And she always said how she hated cats "cause they don't love you unconditionally" "and don't let you pet them whenever you want to pet them" I love dogs but unfortunately they fall victim to lots of narcissists. When people say they hate cats for those reasons, that's a huge red flag. Hating an animal because they use consent and need to gain your trust is not a reason to even dislike an animal.

If a narcissist has a dog it is likely about how good the dog makes them look. Perfect breed, perfect training, even perfect communication, love and adoration.
This can even work out well, as long as nothing breaks the spell.

Yes, I am still being stalked and harassed by a narcissist person. He breaks into my home and split my parrots head down the middle and pulled its feathers off the head so I would know he did it. About 2 years later he broke in and poisoned my 12 yr old blind dog. I live by myself and I have no help. I finally stopped going to the police because they never would help. Sad part it that it's my 58 yr old brother.

He knew I loved animals and took great delight in telling me cruel stories about animals so he could see me upset and then punish me for being upset .
He never touched my dogs or guinea pigs, he was never alone with them and we didnt live together.
My dogs however would go berserk when he entered the house-they knew what a monster he was before I did .

[roselove]

You are absolutely right. Before I understood narcissistic abuse, I wondered how my family members could act so cruel to a poor animal that loved them… now I know.

My ex was a covert narcissist, something Danish touched on in this video was that a narcissist can’t have a normal relationship with their pets. In my case she had a pair of black cats that she brought into the relationship, which I was fine with. What I noticed was she often spoke SO highly of these cats, the smarter one of the two she called her “familiar” and meant it. Like their relationship was so profound that I wouldn’t even understand. Now after watching most of Danish’s videos what she was really doing was saying to me “you can never be as close to me as this cat, you can never understand me like the cat” etc. So rather than being abusive she was using this cat to essentially belittle me in a covert way.

Thank you for talking about how cruel a narcissist can be to pets because they are jealous people. They go out of their way to talk down about you and your pet that is apparently in the way of them obtaining the attention they desire. Without even knowing about how narcissists act, I conclude and believe for sure my friend of 49 years was terribly jealous of my pets because he was not getting the attention he wanted from me. No contact has been in effect for almost a year and I can honestly say I feel great relief.
